The public speech that I have attended was titled “Sing, Jasiu! Jan Kiepura, ‘King of Tenors’ in the Golden Age and on the Silver Screen.” The presentation took place at the Greenpoint Library on Tuesday, November 24th, at 6:30pm, and lasted about one and a half hours. The subject of this speech was the life of Jan Kiepura, specifically his career and accomplishments, and was to inform the audience supported with visuals and singing performances. This speech, at the Greenpoint Library, was part of a series of speeches about significant historical Polish figures. Dayle Vander Sande was the speaker and was joined by another men that was playing the keyboard and whose name was not disclosed. Dayle is a tenor who regularly performs in the Greater New York area. One of his great strengths is that he can sing in six languages. Dayle is also active recitalist: co-founder and director of the Bond Street Euterpean Singing Society, the arts group-in-residence at the Merchant’s House Museum in Manhattan, and an active participant in the Polish-American community. Lastly, Dayle created a survey lecture recital called “Song of the Ages” and as a result is a Polish art song scholar. Dayle, the speaker, opened and closed the speech in the same style. He began the speech by singing one of Jan Kiepura’s most popular songs, which I believe was “ob blond, ob …show more content…
Though, there was emotion involved when he performed songs himself. Dayle used references through his performances and visuals. Dayle performed a few of Jan Kiepura’s songs. He also showed pictures on the projector to reinforce his points. My favorite visual that Dayle showed were pictures of old newspapers and what they were writing about Kiepura at the time. Even though Dayle performed three songs, he still showed us a few videos from YouTube of Jan’s performances, which was a bit too long in my
On November 16th, 2013, I attended a concert choir, fall choral concert. This event took place on the Wheaton College Campus, in the Edman Chapel at 7:30 pm. The chapel was well-lit, with long pews for the audience to be seated. The concert began with the audience looking up into a balcony, where the ensemble stood in neat rows. They watched the conductor, who stood on a stage in front of the audience, waiting for their cue.

The language used in the speech mostly was flawless and applicable to the audience, who was the public, since he was using every day vocabulary. Therefore, the speech has had strong structure that can be easily understood by the majority of people. The audience typic...
I have been to many different concerts throughout my life but this year I experienced two exceptionally unique ___ that I had never seen before. The first one was a spectacular chamber recital that took place at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra performed by pianist Yefim Bronfman and violist-violinist Pinchas Zukerman. The program included Schubert's Violin Sonatina No. 2 in A Minor, Beethoven's Violin Sonata No. 7 in C Minor, and Brahms’ Viola Sonata No. 1 in F Minor. The second was a performance by the notable quartet “Anonymous 4” presented by the Universality of Chicago at the Rockefeller Memorial Chapel. The program included a series of medieval French motets from the 13th Century French polyphony, taken from the Montpellier Codex. The two performances were extremely different in nature and but at the same time very similar in what they were trying to achieve. For instance, while the first concert consisted entirely of an instrumental performance, the other was exclusively vocal. However, both were able to bring to life great examples of iconic artists from our past. I left both c...

On Wednesday, May 23rd, I attended the College Choir concert in the Reamer Campus Center. The choir performed a variety of songs, ranging from pieces in Latin to traditional American folksongs. Two of the pieces featured solos, and one even featured percussion instruments. Mrs. Elinore Farnum provided piano accompaniment for each of the songs, and performed beautifully. I was extremely impressed by the talented choir members and their ability to sing such a varied range of songs.
I attended the Los Angeles Philharmonic classical music concert at the Walt Disney Concert Hall on Friday 29 November 2013. The classical concert started at 8:00pm to the enjoyment of the huge audience that had been waiting for this amazing music extravaganza. Classical music concerts always offer magnificent entertainment and the audience in this concert was expectant to derive such entertainment or more. In attendance were Christian Zacharias who was the conductor and Martin Chalifour who was the LA Phil commanding Principal Concertmaster and Bach violin player. In readiness for the concert, I enjoyed a special dinner prepared for the audience. More specifically, LA Phil staffer introduced us to the evening classical concert amidst cheers from the audience. It was such a refreshing and joyous feeling to be part of this audience.
I noticed he constantly switched from the synthesizer to the keyboard, and this was to change the tune and make it sound layered as I mentioned before. I also noticed that at times he played the keyboard slowly and other times he would play extremely fast. So rapidly that I even questioned how a man can first not only move his arms so fast but also play so beautifully at such high speeds. A tune he played even sounded like a swish-swashing sound, and I was amazed by how a synthesizer and keyboard can possibly make such sounds. I also noticed that for this song that both Lionel Loueke and Dave Holland played the guitar, and I think this was to match the fusion electric instrument style. Overall, the entire band did a great opening for their performance; everyone looked like they were doing their own thing and were very content.
